Mr. Devilish's Substitute Bride Chapter 22
ZANE"Godfather had a son?" I turned to ask to ask Mason Turner, my special assistant after watching Valeria step into the jet."Yes, Boss." He replied in affirmation, no longer using the 'sir' address he had used when Valeria was present.Actually, I also had no idea why I specially had instructed him not to address me as 'Boss' in her presence. But what I did know was that I definitely didn't want her getting the wrong idea about me.But that was even more ridiculous, wasn't it? After all, since when did I start caring about what other people thought of me.Not really wanting to dig deeply into my intention for doing so, I threw Mason another question."He went to the organization?"Mason replied yes again.After a minute silence, I let out a sneer."Seems like there are still some restless and insatiable rats scurrying around our midst.""Boss, you mean?" Mason asked with a thoughtful expression on his face."Is the location of the organization that easy to find and let's say it r

CHRIS As I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of my penthouse apartment, holding a glass of wine in my hand and staring absentmindedly outside, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind me but didn't bother turning around since I knew who it was.I waited until the footsteps had come to a stop a few steps away from me before asking in a faint voice, "What happened?""Sir. Miss Valeria just left Meteor City." My assistant, John reported respectfully. "With that man?" Despite already knowing the answer to the question I asked, I still asked stubbornly. It was probably because I hoped for a different answer. But..."Yes, she left together with him on his private jet."...sometimes, things just don't go the way you want."I understand. You can go." Without taking my gaze off outside, I waved my hand dismissively, signalling to John that he was no longer needed here.As I listened to the gradually receding footsteps, I gently set down the wine glass in my hands on the si

VALERIA 8AM, The Harrison Mansion Half a month had gone by in a flash since I arrived here in the Capital City as Zane Michaels, no, Zane Harrison's wife. Even up till this particular moment, I still haven't completely digested the fact that the man I thought to be Mr. Devil's assistant, the man whom I find myself fiercely attracted to, the man I had... kissed was actually Mr. Devil himself.Who would have thought?Towards this shocking news, I actually didn't know how to feel exactly.Should I be happy, after all, I no longer have to worry about morality or whatsoever since the person I was attracted was in the end, my legal husband.Or should I be feeling stupid at how I had been deceived thoroughly by him?But then when I thought about it carefully, the signs were all there. I was just too distracted to notice.Was it his manner of speaking that literally ooze of authority despite him trying to make himself seem like a gentleman?Once, I had even thought about it jokingly about

VALERIASeeing him acting that nonchalant, as if he wasn't the one who had literally caged me in here, I really felt an urge to wipe that annoying smile off his face.And I did exactly that.By jumping off my bed and running over to give him a slap on the face, or at least tried to...With his eyes squinted dangerously, he held up my outstretched hands, "Grumpy much?""What do you think?!" Not to be outdone, I asked back with equally squinted eyes.He didn't reply immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to yank me closer to him.Then, he released my hand to wrap his arms around my waist."What the hell are you doing?!" Being tightly held against him to the point where I could clearly feel the outline of his body, made me panic for some reason, so I subconsciously raised my voice to question him."I thought I already made it obvious enough that I was taking 'liberties' with my legal wife."I heard him say in reply, with a deliberate emphasis on the word 'legal'.He was reminding

ZANEWatching her attempt to change the subject so clumsily, I was unable to stop myself from chuckling in amusement again.Somehow, Valeria Hale was quickly becoming someone I am not able to resist.I however didn't plan to call her out. My woman was shy, what else can I do but accommodate her?Readjusting my sitting position to be more comfortable, I took a stand of her hair, twirled it around my fingers and then slowly began to answer her question."I told them not to let you go out for your own sake.""For my sake? Explain what you mean by that because it seems that my own understanding of what is 'for my sake' seems to differ from yours."Of course, I could hear the dubiety and subtle sarcasm in her voice but I paid no mind to it and continued speaking."You might be unaware of this, but the position of my wife happen to be a very coveted position.""Meaning what? That I should be thankful that you took fancy to me?""Stop being so impatient, will you? At least, let me finish what

ZANEAfter a passionate and long smooching session, I finally separated from Valeria.While helping both her and myself smoothen out our wrinkled clothes, my eyes disobediently wandered over to her ruddy lips and flushed cheeks.It made me unable but help think to myself if it was still possible to go for another round?Of course, in the end, I had no chance to act on that thought since I heard Valeria complained softly how her lips was feeling numb and tingly.'Let's forget it today. We'll continue another day.'"I am sorry for not controlling myself but who made your lips so... sweet. They make me reluctant to part from them."My words no doubt made Valeria blush furiously while I watched in fascination."You are so... vulgar! I must have been blind to think you were a gentleman in the first place", she stammered out as she sat upright on the bed while looking at me defensively.A deep chuckle escaped my throat and I asked with subtle incredulity, "You thought I was a gentleman? Me,

VALERIAThe following day, I woke up to the sound of constant knocking on my door.After dawdling for a while, I groggily got out from bed and walked over to open the door. Seeing it was one of the housekeeping staff outside, I asked as I leaned my head on the door, "What is it?""Good morning, ma'am. Sir asked me to call you down from breakfast."The moment I heard her say that, all hints of sluggishness immediately disappeared from my face and I stood upright to ask in surprise, with a tinge of joy that not even I had noticed mixed in my voice."He is back?""Yes, ma'am", The female staff replied politely with a faint smile on her face."Oh... then, tell him to give me a few minutes.""Okay, ma'am. I'll relay your message to Sir", She bowed slightly and subsequently turned around to go.Suddenly, I remembered that I still didn't know her name and stopped her."Wait. I still don't know your name?"She was obviously stunned for a moment there as she stood still for a while. Then, she

VALERIA Ater we were done with breakfast and the staff came over over to remove the dishes from the table, I looked at Zane who obviously still had no intentions of standing up and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you going to work?" However, instead of answering my question, he gave a mystifying instruction. "Why don't you go and get dressed?" Not quite understanding what he meant, I asked with deepening confusion, "Get dressed? For what?" But then, after asking, I thought of something and looked at him in surprise, "You wouldn't mean I should get dressed for the banquet, right? But I thought you said it was in the evening? Or did I remember it wrong?" "No, you didn't. I just want to take you out to play", Zane said in reply. "Take me out to play? What does that mean?" What answered me was a chuckle full with amusement, "What do you think it means? The literal meaning of course." "I know how stuffy it must have been to be forced to stay here all alone, without a single familiar p
